HAMDEN, Conn A recent spike in crime has Hamden taking preventive measures. Mayor Curt Leng says crime numbers aren t up everywhere but they are up in more categories than they would like.
In an effort to lower these numbers and increase transparency the town held a Crime Prevention and Community Resolutions Panel discussion to inform the public and increase transparency. Some people are afraid to come outside. Some people are afraid to go grocery shopping, said Kim Washington of Mothers Demand Action.
